Let's see... I recently started reworking an old story of mine, and I changed the first line to "That first kiss changed everything." I like it so far (though it will probably change, because I'm just like that) because it opens up so many possibilities and the reader will have to keep on reading.

Super first lines! My favorite is the first one. It says so so much in just a few words. I'm with you on the writing week! Will do my best, although technically, I'm revising, so I won't get as far as I would with actual writing. But, fun times ahead...

"Somebody really should have told me you can't always get what you want. I mean, I know the saying is out there, but when you get to twenty-three and have gotten almost everything you really wanted - it starts to feel like it was said for someone else."

I love the first one too. It reminds me of a Lao Tsu quote regarding leadership:

...As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honour and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ... When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!'"
